Level 31: 125,000 / 250,000 ante: 250,000

Filip Radic

Filip Radic shoved for 3,000,000 from the button and Alex Thompson made the call from the big blind, giving him his first chance to close out the tournament.

Filip Radic: 6♦ 5♦

Alex Thompson: J♣ T♦

Thompson was ahead for now with jack-high, but Radic's suited connector had plenty of potential.

Radic picked up an open-ended straight draw on the Q♣ 3♥ 4♦ flop, giving him plenty of ways to keep his title hopes alive.

The 4♥ turn was no help, leaving Thompson just one card away from getting his hands on the trophy.

The A♠ landed on the river to slam the door shut on Radic's hopes and bring the tournament to an end.

The rail erupted as Thompson was crowned the WPT Australia Championship winner, while Radic had to settle for the runner-up spot.

Alex Thompson raised to 600,000 from the small blind with A♠ 7♦ and Pranav Bhatt three-bet to 1,800,000 from the big blind with A♣ Q♣.

Thompson peered over at Bhatt on his left before ripping it in. The shove was for Bhatt's remaining 4,300,000, and Bhatt was visibly agonizing over the spot he found himself in.

After burning through some of his time banks, Bhatt folded the better ace, and Thompson extended his lead.

Level 30: 100,000 / 200,000 ante: 200,000

Jack Sweet

When it folded to Jack Sweet in the small blind, he jammed for 2,500,000 and Alex Thompson called from the big blind.

Jack Sweet: A♠ 4♦

Alex Thompson: 9♦ 9♣

Sweet was all-in and at risk against Thompson once again, but this time he needed an ace to survive.

The 7♥ 7♣ 5♠ flop was safe for Thompson and so was the Q♣ turn.

Sweet needed an ace on the river, but it didn't come as the T♠ completed the board.

Sweet exited in fourth place to a round of applause from his supporters, while Thompson moved up to over half the chips in play.

Pranav Bhatt

Pranav Bhatt called from the small blind and Filip Radic made it 500,000 to go from the big blind. Bhatt limp-raised to 1,300,000 before Radic shoved, putting Bhatt all-in. Bhatt called for his 2,850,000 total and was at risk.

Pranav Bhatt: K♦ 2♦

Filip Radic: A♦ J♣

Bhatt had run into Radic's ace-jack, but he had two live cards.

Bhatt took the lead on the K♣ J♦ 4♥ flop with top pair.

The 7♦ turn was safe and so was the 7♣ river, meaning Bhatt doubled up again.

Alex Thompson raised to 250,000 from the cutoff, Tingjia Huang called for his last 100,000 from the small blind, and Filip Radic also called from the big blind.

With Huang all-in and action on the side, Radic check-folded to a bet of 125,000 from Thompson on the J♣ J♠ 6♥ flop.

Tingjia Huang: K♦ 7♣

Alex Thompson: J♥ 9♠

Huang was in terrible shape against Thompson's trip jacks, and his elimination was confirmed on the 3♥ turn, leaving the 4♣ river as a mere formality.

Alex Thompson

Alex Thompson raised to 250,000 from the button and Tingjia Huang defended from the big blind.

The T♣ landed on the turn and Huang checked for a second time. Thompson fired 600,000, and Huang again called.

The 6♦ completed the board, producing a final check from Huang. Thompson didn't have to think for too long before betting 1,500,000, which was for almost all of Huang's stack.

Huang eventually called and was shown Q♠ 8♠ by Thompson for a queen-high straight. Huang mucked Q♦ T♥ for a pair of tens and was left with just 100,000.

Jack Sweet raised to 250,000 from the cutoff with Q♣ J♥ and Alex Thompson called on the button. Tingjia Huang then squeezed all-in for 1,100,000 from the big blind, and Thompson was the lone caller.

Tingjia Huang: T♥ T♠

Alex Thompson: 2♦ 2♣

Huang had made the incorrect fold just moments earlier and now found himself in the perfect spot to win back all of those chips.

No deuce arrived for Thompson on the 6♣ 7♣ J♣ 6♥ 3♠ runout, despite flopping a flush draw, and Huang doubled up.

Jack Sweet

Alex Thompson made it 200,000 from under the gun with 4♠ 4♦, and Filip Radic three-bet to 650,000 from the small blind holding T♥ T♦. Jack Sweet burned through a couple of time banks before going for the most aggressive option, cold four-betting to 1,375,000 with Q♥ Q♦.

Thompson let go of his sailboats, while Radic thought for quite some time before making the call.

With over 30 big blinds already in the pot, the flop came down 8♠ Q♠ 9♣ and Radic checked. Sweet fired a continuation-bet of 550,000, and Radic continued with a call.

The 2♥ landed on the turn and Radic knuckled it once more to Sweet. Sweet used a time bank before firing 875,000. Radic let go of his hand, and the big pot headed Sweet's way.

Henry was behind Radic's king-high and failed to improve on the 3♠ A♠ 2♦ 3♣ K♣ board, with Radic rivering a pair of kings.

Filip Radic raised to 200,000 from under the gun and Alex Thompson called from the cutoff. Ryan Henry called for his last 100,000 from the big blind with the chance to triple up.

With Henry all-in, Radic checked the 9♣ 8♠ 8♦ flop before folding when Thompson bet 200,000.

Ryan Henry: 9♥ 9♦

Alex Thompson: J♣ 7♣

Henry had flopped a boat, leaving Thompson needing running cards to send him home.

The J♥ on the turn gave Thompson a glimmer of hope, but the 6♠ river was a brick, and Henry survived again to climb to 750,000.

Aggression Works For Huang

Level 25: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Pranav Bhatt opened to 175,000 from the button and Tingjia Huang three-bet to 525,000 from the small blind.

Ryan Henry, who was the table short stack, went into the tank from the big blind as he considered what to do with 7♦ 7♠.

In the end, Henry let it go and Bhatt followed suit with A♦ 3♥, allowing Huang to pick up the pot with K♣ J♠, which was actually the worst hand of the three.

Level 25: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Filip Radic made it 120,000 to go from under the gun, with Pranav Bhatt calling on the button and Ryan Henry defending from the big blind with 7♣ 4♣.
